E/CN.4/2002/73 page 21 80. Relativement aux violences qu’auraient commises des extrémistes hindous à l’encontre d’évangélistes de Kolar, Karnataka, le 26 novembre 2001 (par. 39), la réponse de l’Inde est la suivante: “This is a case which took place on 24 November 2000 in which about 15 Christians from Bangalore were noticed distributing copies of the ‘New Testament’ among students of JSS School at Malur, Kolar district, Karnataka. On being questioned by the school authorities, they stated that permission from the Block Education Officer had been obtained. They later dumped two more bags containing the religious literature near the local Junior College auditorium and fled. On learning about the incident, on 25 November, local Hindu activists collected the copies of the literature from the school and the Junior College and burnt them near Maharaja Circle, Malur. Later, some unidentified persons pelted stones at the local church, partially damaging its door and window-panes. The protestors were also shouting anti-Christian slogans. A case was registered as crime No. 252/2000 under sections 143, 147, 448, 227 of IPC at Malur police station against 20 unidentified persons. On 28 March 2001, the JMFC Court, Malur, which heard the case, issued a charge notice to 12 of the accused in the case. It would be seen that this is a case of simple rioting and not a case of attacks on Christians by any extremist group or Hindu fundamentalist group or a case of religious intolerance.” 81. S’agissant des violences commises le 27 novembre 2000 par des extrémistes hindous à l’encontre du père C. Alphonse, dans l’Église Plipipura (par. 39), la réponse est la suivante: “According to reports, some unidentified miscreants intruded into the residence of Father Alphinse at village Pipari Khapar on 27/28 November 2000 and assaulted him, causing serious head injuries. After ransacking the room and almirah, the attackers left the scene, with about Rs. 1,000 in cash. A case was registered at Kotwali Civil Lines police station on 28 November 2000 against four unknown persons. This case is still under investigation. It may be observed that this is a case of theft by unidentified assailants and not a case of religious intolerance.” 82. À propos du pillage du hall de l’Église de Bokaro qui aurait été commis le 29 novembre 2000 par des extrémistes hindous (par. 39), l’Inde a répondu: “Some unidentified miscreants committed theft in a church in Sector IV, Bokaro (Jharkhand). The articles stolen included a refrigerator, a music system, etc. A case was registered (crime No. 114 under sections 329, 461 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC)). It would be seen that since the miscreants were unidentified persons, this is also a case of simple theft and not a case of attacked on Christians by any extremist group or Hindu fundamentalist group.” 83. S’agissant des violences qui auraient été commises le 4 janvier 2001 par un groupe d’au moins 40 hommes armés, dans le village Jaher, près du district d’Udaipur, Rajasthan, à l’encontre de deux prêtres participant à une cérémonie religieuse (par. 39), l’Inde a répondu: “At the invitation of Mr. Ramesh Solanki, a resident of Panrawa, Mr. Simon aged 30 years, son of Mr. Jalaisiya, and Mr. David Mashi, aged 52 years, son of
